I had a lover who betrayed me.
First he implored and then gainsaid me.
Hopeless I dared no more importune.
I found new friends, a kinder fortune.
Silence, indifference did greet me.
Twice in long years he’s chanced to meet me.
Yet when I see him I discover
I was inconstant, he the lover.
(Lesbia Harford)
